pany'S mill is located, under the mani
agement of Marshall Chambers, who,
with his estimable lady, are held in high
esteem, not only by the large force OF
men in the company's employ, but also
| by the entire community in which they
reside. Recently Mr.. Chambers offered
his men fine supper and dance If they,
| would turn him out 100000 feet OF lum5
| Der in one days saving of eleven hours,
| On Friday, June II, the men rather
surprised their excellent foreman by
turning 153, 7S0 feet of sawed lumber in
the time specified. True to his word,
Mr.. Chambers gave the supper on the
evening of the 24th, the yonng ladies OF
| the village turning out en- maSSe to
serve his guests. Over 120 plates were
set, and the supper was all that could
| be desired. just before arising John
Birch advanced to the seat occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Chambers, and on behalf
of the men presented the couple with
solid silver water SET consisting OF
| tray, pitcher, a pair gobletS and SlOp
bowl, accoMDanying the gift with neat
| and appropriate speech. The affair
was SO completely a surprise that Mr..
| Chambers was at first unable to reply,
| but at last thanked the donors, assuring
them that far above the value of their
most magnificent gift he valued the eX-
preston of esteem and respect it was
meant to convey. The tray is apprOpri-
| ately inscribed. A mammoth mill
broom is hoisted above the mill in token
of the fact that the mill can saw more
lumber in a day than any other mill of
similar capacity on the st. CrolX, and
remains as a standing challenge to all
competitors until the record is beaten.
